a couple people have been trapped on the long island expressway. tell me -- >> what's going on? all right, the storm system came together, and it has already produced not record amounts of snowfall in places that were kind of in that bull's eye, right around boston. that's where we were looking at perhaps what would be the heaviest amounts that would rival 1978. that's kind of the benchmark for everything now going forward. >> was that 27.5? >> 27.1, i believe. so you know, you can -- there's a little wiggle room in there, but a lot of the snow areas across boston that we have seen right now, between 20 and around 25 inches. now, brooke, it is beginning to taper off just a little bit. as soon as i say that, that doesn't mean you can go outside, have a great time. that's just not going to happen, but there's a band that moved through that was heavy wave in the last couple hours. that same wave associated with this storm is going to move off the coast, so they'll be on the back side of this, so you might get another kind of heavy burst that comes up within the next hour or so. >>
